• Questionable value for money.

  The actual gondola trip was nice, completely fine to be shared as that’s what we booked. However, booking says be there 30 minutes before, which for our booking was 5:30, we then didn’t get on the gondola until 6:10 and docked before 6:30. Trip was nice but we paid for 30 minutes and got just over 15. I would save your money on this one. Lovely trip through the canals but not at this price for less than what was advertised.

• Relaxing Way to Experience Venice

  We took a gondola ride in Venice, and overall it was a relaxing and leisurely experience. However, it would have been even better if the gondolier had pointed out some of the sights mentioned in the itinerary. The tour advertised about 10 minutes on the Grand Canal, but it felt shorter than expected. After passing near the The Gritti Palace, we turned into a smaller canal and didn't see much more of the Grand Canal. A tip for future travelers: read the tour description carefully, especially if you're booking a shared gondola ride. Make sure the route includes the landmarks and points of interest that matter most to you. In hindsight, I wish we had chosen a route that passed under the Rialto Bridge or near the Bridge of Sighs.

  This is a uniquely Venice activity and a very popular activity. The gondola is shared. The price is good. We enjoyed our experience

  It was great experience . The gondola lead was good and funny. The visit was worth it. The person who was at the ticket booth was very rude and disrespectful not just to us but he was yelling at others . Not very helpful.

  Our gondolier had a wonderful personality and we had a fantastic time. The only thing that wasn’t 5 Star was the fact that there were many many gondolas on the side canals with us at the same time. It almost seemed like a traffic jam in New York City at one point!

  Canal was very crowded and not peaceful. The only good part of the ride was getting pictures from the Grand Canal.

  Gondola driver was either on his phone, taking phone calls, or smoking his vape the entire time. We were following a huge caravan of other gondolas. Idk if this is truly worth it.
